Protesters congregated outside the Victorian State Library on Saturday to express their opposition to white supremacy, fascism and various other shitheaded ideologies that seem to be coming back in vogue.

Victorian Greens leader Samantha Ratnam addressed the crowd, sharing some of the racist messages she has received since the St Kilda rally.

The protesters then marched through the CBD brandishing anti-Nazi signs and chanting anti-Nazi slogans. Which again, isn’t really something I thought I’d see in Melbourne. But then again, it’s certainly better than the alternative.

At the anti-racist rally in Melbourne Would probably get a C in a Grade 5 poster assignment, but I think I got into the background of a 9 news shot, so it was worth it. #antifapic.twitter.com/sEgVi99ncE
